The Science of Sound is widely recognized as the leading textbook in the field. It provides an excellent introduction to acoustics for readers without college physics or a strong background in mathematics. In the Third Edition, Richard Moore and Paul Wheeler join Tom Rossing in updating The Science of Sound to include a wide range of important technological developments in the field of acoustics.

New exercises and review questions have been added to the end of each chapter to help readers study the material. Rossing completed his B.A. At Luther College in 1950, his M.S. At Iowa State University in 1954. His dissertation was in the field of molecular physics.

After graduating, he went into industrial research, and from there, he went to teaching. Currently, he is a professor at Northern Illinois University. Professor Rossing has published more than 200 papers and ten books.
